Newborn girl clings to life after student mother dumps her in hospital toilet rubbish bin

A newborn girl is in a critical condition today after her mother gave birth in a hospital toilet and dumped the baby in a rubbish bin.

Dawa Lama, 23, arrived at a hospital on Tuesday and started the pre-birth check-in process, before dumping her newborn in a toilet near the emergency room entrance.

The baby was found after staff noticed blood inside a bathroom at Elmhurst Hospital Centre in Queens, New York, and the mother had left the hospital, police said.

 

Beauty school student Lama left her critical baby before being found by police while sleeping at her home just three hours later and taken into custody.

Her newborn girl has since been moved to North Shore-Long Island Jewish Hospital  (NS-LIJ) and is still in a critical condition, an NS-LIJ spokesman told MailOnline today.

‘She never told me (about the pregnancy). I didn't know,’ her mother Seri Sherpa said.

‘She said, “I'm getting fat”,' Ms Sherpa told the New York Daily News. 'I said: “Tell me the truth. Do we have to go to the hospital?”. She said: “No, everything's all right”.’

 

It’s not yet clear what charges she may face, as New York State law allows mothers to leave a baby within five days of its birth at any city hospital with no questions asked.

Hospitals are considered ‘safe havens’, therefore absolving mothers who abandon their children from criminal abandonment charges.

Ms Sherpa moved to New York with her daughter from Nepal four years ago and said the baby is alive and she was going to try to see it at Elmhurst last night.

Lama's boyfriend, Bishnu Gurung, 28, a restaurant worker, also said he did not know she was pregnant but vowed to take care of the baby.

‘I didn't know she was carrying a baby,’ he told the New York Daily News. ‘I always asked her: “Your belly is growing. Is there something I should know?”

‘If that's my baby, I'm going to take care of it.’

A 14-year-old girl from Brooklyn, New York, was investigated in February after she hid her pregnancy from her mother and a dead newborn was found in her bedroom.

A doctor realised she had recently given birth after she walked into hospital with heavy bleeding, and the dead baby boy was later found in a plastic bag behind her bed.

 yesta ketilai k bhanchhan? "jaathi" saath-saathai mero tarfabata yeslai "randee" ko consolation prize pani! sutne belama ko-ko sanga suti, bacha janmepachhi dumpsterma faldi raiche laaj nabhaki nakachari! kamm se kamm condom laga ta bhanna sakthi holi ni tyasko baari jotnelai! kasta manchhe ni hunchhan bhane ni.  

Miss lama should have given her child for adoption/
There are 1000 of parents willing to adopt here in usa, even covering cost for birth .
1000 of americans travel across world adopting a new born.

afno jaat dekhaicha...bhanera mainle bhane bhane kati jana le thik bhanlan?

Man , he poked without rubber and does not know the meaning of big belly? Must be a wise A*****. Just trying to save his butt.

NAS; no need to claim that you ar not a virgin.

And how dumb are her parents and befriend that they couldn't distinguish between a fat and a pregnant women .. Poor child

BItch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally slut

She had lot of other option then throwing a baby in trash. She is not in Nepal, for god shake she could have told the social service people about it and could have things taken care of. I am suprised about the boyfriend's answer too. How in the world a person will not know if their girlfriend is pregnant or not when they are in their 8 and 9 months. Maybe he thinks everybody is stupid.  His answers tells, he is much involved in this as is the girl is.

If you are married, your wife also had the same story. She was lucky to not get pregnant.

If you are going to marry, your wife will be one of these. You are lucky that you won't know her past.

The only difference is this girl is way past the line limit of dumbness. 

Women have always been fu*king but they always present themselves as a saint. And blame men for everything.

However it is always easy to advise when bad things happen to the other people. 

kasto kuieko aimai raicha....

what kind of mother dumps her baby? she's such a pathetic hoe.
she should have been born sterile.
shocked by the news.

May be she is mentally sick. May be she needs help ( mental help, therapy)  or may be she is just evil as everyone on this thread is projecting. Anyway, this was one sad and crazy news.

 What a response from her boyfriend...gaally!!! can't even see the difference between belly and boob?...and what kind of girl? SHE is staying Fawking place like New York and trying to hide the truth...I mean answering the questions like what the hell is fawk???? ?

I heard this news in the same day that came out.. Most of the people were saying she is bad, slut, bitch... Well It's true that she should not do that thing.. But it also looks like she is having some mental issue problems which should be addressed... We have heard this kind of news like mother killing her baby back to Nepal.. But we don't know the reason behind why they did such crime except they were convicted of crime N put in jail... they never went to psych evaluation either..
So, though she deserve the punishment for her brutality... she should also deserve psychiatric evaluation .... The question is.. how did she get such courage to came home and sleep after she gave birth to her baby n dumped in toilet of hospital?...
But this is a sad news to the Neplease community...

she made another mistake to cover the first (I thought she considered having baby as her first mistake.)

Only possibility is

1. She is super dumb
2. She is mentally ill, suffering from bipolar disorder.
3. She is trying to be super smart though she is super dumb.

But well wish the recovery of baby though, its not his fault.
